Set to be released for both Android and iOS platforms in 2014, the new game, currently untitled, will be developed by TinyCo, with the project described as a part-adventure, part-simulation game that is ‘supported by in-app purchases’.

Such ‘microtransactions’ within the game will include the addition of new characters, abilities, actions, and ‘themed decorations’. All that has currently been revealed plot-wise for the game (which is reportedly operating with the support of voice actors Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis and Seth Green), will see an ‘all-new story’ that is influenced by the series’ ‘history and current events’, with a player journeying through the town of Quahog, meeting characters from the long-running comedy on the way and recruiting or confronting them where necessary.
